When should I wear shapewear?
Shapewear is ideal for both special occasions and everyday wear. For formal events, we recommend bodysuits, corsets, and shaping shorts to create a smooth and flattering silhouette under dresses. For everyday outfits, seamless shapewear is the best choice, working discreetly under fitted, lightweight, or semi-sheer clothing for all day comfort and confidence.
How tight should shapewear fit?
Shapewear should feel snug but never painful. Garments will look small and feel tight, especially on the first couple of wears, as this is in order for the compression and lifting properties to work effectively. After a few wears, good quality shapewear will retain its compression but loosen ever-so-slightly in any places that need a little more wiggle room.
Is it better to size up or down in shapewear?
The best brands should fit true to size. If you can, it’s best to try a couple of sizes on with the outfit you are planning to wear, and make sure to refer to the brand’s sizing chart to ensure the best fit for your body type.
What are the best shapewear brands?
The best shapewear brands combine comfort, confidence, and style. We love shapewear from SKIMS, Spanx, Commando, Calvin Klein and so much more.
